A man has been taken into custody as the alleged perpetrator in the murder of his partner in Torremolinos. He remains in custody at the National Police building while investigators continue to examine the case. Police sources indicate that the suspect will be presented to the judiciary once the 72-hour emergency period required by law for a police arrest has elapsed, a deadline expected to be reached by tomorrow, Saturday. As the investigation unfolds, further details are emerging about the suspect’s past, including his involvement in earlier investigations under the Viogen System, which tracks cases of gender violence. Records show prior monitoring in two relationships, one of which included precautionary measures. Sources familiar with the case have noted that the incidents under scrutiny previously occurred in Fuengirola and in Galicia.
On behalf of the case, the Representative of the Spanish Government in Andalusia, Pedro Fernández, confirmed today that police are examining whether there is a link between the Torremolinos murder case and the 2014 disappearance of the suspect’s former emotional partner in the same town. Fernández emphasized that the search for the young woman’s whereabouts has never been closed and that ongoing investigations may shed new light on Sibora’s location. Sibora, a young Albanian woman then 22 years old, was living with the detainee in Torremolinos at the time.
Authorities subsequently sought public cooperation to resolve this still-open case. Similar steps were taken by Missing Warning, an organization that distributes information about disappearances and offers support to families. Today the organization posted a warning with a photo and a physical description of the young woman: brown eyes, brown hair, and several tattoos (a date on one arm, a star and the letter A on the neck, a star on one foot, and a drawing on the back). Police sources confirmed to this newspaper that a complaint had been filed to investigate Sibora’s address and current whereabouts, underscoring the complexity and persistence of the investigation.
